Legendary designers for Blur, Trainspotting & The Cure produce their first series of contemporary artworks to coincide with their 30th anniversary.
This London-based creative consultancy was founded in 1981 by creative director, Rob O’Connor, who has steered Stylorouge through various phases embracing design for print, web and multimedia, photography and video production. The team have created some of the most well regarded imagery for the music and movie industries for over 30 years for the likes of Blur, Morrissey, Rolling Stones, George Michael and the now iconic artwork for Trainspotting amongst many others. To celebrate their 30th anniversary Stylorouge have let their creative minds loose on a whole new series of art pieces for a groundbreaking exhibition of personal artistic work with their whole team entering a process of self-directed artistic creation specifically for the show. The resulting video installations, assemblages, painting and photography give a unique insight into the concerns and motivations of one of the most progressive and engaging creative studios once freed from commercial constraints.
Exhibition runs through to February 3rd, 2012

Over the past twenty years, Hume has developed a distinctive visual language of bold, simplified forms to create paintings that engage the viewer with their pleasantly irresolvable quality. The exhibition, his first in London for over four years, brings together a large and varied body of new work that will occupy both the Hoxton Square and Mason’s Yard galleries.
A painting by Gary Hume is a dynamically ambiguous visual experience. Although each work usually features a recognisable motif – such as a bird or flower – they are often flattened and fractured, and positioned awkwardly in a pictorial space that is brought to life through broad passages of colour that could be repellently acrid or seductively luscious. Negative and positive spaces fluctuate within a painting, stretching figuration to the point that lines, forms and colours start to lose their denotative function. ‘Neither literal nor illusionistic,’ writes Jennifer Higgie in her catalogue essay, Hume’s paintings ‘draw you into the depths of something you might have initially assumed was all surface.’
Exhibition runs from January 18th to February 25th, 2012
